It’s inspiring to browse through images of high-quality bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects. Often, the focal point of the room is a stunning quartz countertop that ties the entire design concept together. If you’re thinking about investing in this quality accessory for your home, it’s smart to think about basics like color and pattern, but it’s equally important to consider how to make the best choice for any given room. Here are some tips to make the most appropriate choice.

A Guide to Choosing a Quartz Countertop

1. Order

Although it may be easier to select a countertop before the cabinets or floors, it’s best to work in a certain order. For kitchens, begin with the cabinet color. This serves as the primary hue that everything else in the room balances, which is why it ultimately plays such a significant role in the color of your quartz countertop. If you have a certain shade in mind, however, be mindful of that when selecting the cabinet color. Light cabinets play beautifully with dark counters, and vice versa.

2. Contrast

If your cabinets are a rich shade of cherry or mahogany, for example, a brilliant off-white or golden quartz countertop will shine. If you have white or relatively neutral cabinets, you might opt for a darker countertop to create a balanced design concept. The contrasts don’t have to be drastic, however; if you have reddish-tinged cabinets, a rich gray or a dark green countertop can easily complement the look.

3. Undertones

Inspect the color variations of other elements in the kitchen or bathroom. Take your cue from the natural grains in the cabinets’ wood or the warmth or airiness of the wall paint. Sometimes, the slightest fleck of color is all you need to select a quartz countertop that “matches” and brings the entire room together neatly. You can even look at other design features, like the cabinet pulls or the grout between the floor tiles. Be creative. There are many ways to create a cohesive look—without looking too overly matched up.
